Dodo Payments Integration 💳

Let's set up Dodo Payments for your Indie Kit application! 🚀

Initial Setup ⚡

1. Create a Dodo Payments account

2. Set up your business details

3. Add required legal documents:

   • Privacy Policy
   • Terms of Service

4. Add these environment variables to your .env file:

   # Dodo Payments Configuration
    DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY=xxx... # From Dodo Payments API keys
    DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_xxx... # From Dodo Payments webhook settings
    DODO_PAYMENTS_API_URL="https://live.dodopayments.com" # Or test.dodopayments.com for testing
   

   🔒 Security Note: Never commit these keys to your repository. In production, add them securely to your hosting platform's environment variables.

   💡 Testing vs Production: Make sure to use the correct API URL for your environment.

Product Configuration 🛍️

In your Dodo Payments Dashboard:

1. Create Products with pricing:
   • Monthly subscriptions
   • Yearly subscriptions
   • One-time payments
2. Customer Portal:
   • Already enabled by default

Webhook Setup 🔌

1. Add your webhook endpoint in Dodo Payments Dashboard:

   https://your-domain.com/api/webhooks/dodo

2. Enable these webhook events:

• payment.succeeded
• payment.failed
• payment.processing
• payment.cancelled
• refund.succeeded
• refund.failed
• dispute.opened
• dispute.expired
• dispute.accepted
• dispute.cancelled
• dispute.challenged
• dispute.won
• dispute.lost
• subscription.created
• subscription.active
• subscription.on_hold
• subscription.renewed
• subscription.paused
• subscription.cancelled
• subscription.failed
• license_key.created
• customer.created

💡 Important: All these events are required for proper subscription management. They handle:

• Customer creation and management
• Subscription lifecycle (creation, updates, deletion)
• Invoice payments

3. For local testing, use ngrok:

   # Forward webhooks to your local server
   ngrok http 3000

Plan Mapping 🗺️

1. Go to your super admin dashboard: /super-admin/plans
2. For each plan, add the corresponding Dodo Payments Price IDs:
   • monthlyDodoPriceId
   • yearlyDodoPriceId
   • onetimeDodoPriceId

💡 Tip: Find Price IDs in Dodo Payments Dashboard under Products → Select Product

Adding Subscribe Buttons 🔘

Use the getSubscribeUrl helper to create subscription links:

import getSubscribeUrl, { PlanType, PlanProvider } from '@/lib/plans/getSubscribeUrl'
 
function PricingCard({ plan }) {
  // Monthly subscription with 7-day trial
  const monthlyUrl = getSubscribeUrl({
    codename: plan.codename,
    type: PlanType.MONTHLY,
    provider: PlanProvider.DODO,
    trialPeriodDays: 7
  })
 
  // Yearly subscription with 14-day trial
  const yearlyUrl = getSubscribeUrl({
    codename: plan.codename,
    type: PlanType.YEARLY,
    provider: PlanProvider.DODO,
    trialPeriodDays: 14
  })
 
  // One-time payment
  const onetimeUrl = getSubscribeUrl({
    codename: plan.codename,
    type: PlanType.ONETIME,
    provider: PlanProvider.DODO
  })
 
  return (
    <div className="pricing-card">
      <h2>{plan.name}</h2>
      <div className="buttons">
        {plan.hasMonthlyPricing && (
          <Link href={monthlyUrl}>
            <Button>Subscribe Monthly</Button>
          </Link>
        )}
        {plan.hasYearlyPricing && (
          <Link href={yearlyUrl}>
            <Button>Subscribe Yearly</Button>
          </Link>
        )}
        {plan.hasOnetimePricing && (
          <Link href={onetimeUrl}>
            <Button>Buy Lifetime</Button>
          </Link>
